I have to test a web resource that has a "feature" of only allowing one log-in at a time. If someone else logs in with the same user ID, the first session will get kicked out.
Can't think of a good way to do this in jmeter, since any number of tests could access the resource. So I rolled a quick and dirty proof of concept webapp to hide the actual resource behind a mutex semaphore. It uses Ruby, Sinatra and haml to render a form. If you're interested in the code, you can find it at https://github.com/FlyingRhenquest/WebMutex. It's not very pretty but initial testing looks promising. I'll have to throw together a jmeter test to exercise it in the morning. -- Bruce Ide flyingrhenqu...@gmail.com
